What Does Success Really Mean? Simerjeet Singh reads Ralph Waldo Emerson #quotesthatinspire

Friends, today's video is a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson. When I first shared it with my uh late mother, God bless her soul, she said, "Wow, this is so beautiful. " In fact, she said that she's going to make it her definition of success. And she asked me to print out a copy and I did and I had it framed and I put it up in her room. I even read it out u at her memorial uh during the prayer service after she passed away. And this particular quote by Ralph Walder Emerson is a definition of success. It's beyond money, beyond power, beyond position, uh beyond the formal traditional definition of success. And these words, they give me goosebumps every single time. And I hope you'll find deep meaning in them. Um Ralph Baldo Emerson, he wrote to laugh often and much. To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children. To earn the appreciation of honest critics. And endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty. To find the best in others. To leave the world a bit better. Whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition. to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition. To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. To know that even one life has breathed easier because you lived. And I believe by this definition my mother did lead a successful life. And this quote always inspires me to look beyond the numbers, the appreciations, the awards, the followers, the bank account balances, and the other superficial things to look for a re a deeper a more well-rounded meaning of success. And I think if you ask me personally, the ability to lead your life on your own terms is also success. And if you're living your life based on the conditions and the script laid out by society, that you have to have this, you have to be uh living your life like this, you have to have a car that's that looks like this. If you're living by society's definitions, then you're probably not truly free. You're living by the job description that the world has crafted out for you to forge your own way. That, my friends, is also success. Thank you for watching. — Share this if it added value to your day. Subscribe for more.
